Surviving Ming Dynasty

Is this possible?

I'd be fascinated to know what could be the possible results.

Edit:Maintaining control over some or all of China

This could have happened,when the Ming was overthrown..there was huge resentment for the Qing being established. There was public sentiment that was in favor of the Ming,and I guess it could have survived in some form...

I think it's not clear how much of a base of support there was for the Ming. one of the mroe striking things to me, at least, is how quickly the Ming state collapsed, compared to the song Dynatsy.

I will grant that the Khitan state was less developed than the Manchus, and the ming were coming off of decades of instability, but it is still striking that the Qing did as well as they did.

Still, it's not insurmountable. But you might wanna go early, and avoid the control of the eunuchs in the court.
 
In this case, China probably won't control Xinjiang, Mongolia, Machuria and Tibet...

Would Xinjiang, Mongolia and Machuria be controlled by Russia and Tibet by Britain?

This could cause a lot of interesting butterflies...
